You were right first time

Gene recorded this in late 1956 and it debuted on The "Gene Vincent & The Blue Caps" album in 1957

OTOH Milano's remake (later booted out on the West Coast) wasn't released till 1957

I don't recall hearing this version before. Like most of the other covers of the song it doesn't really suit the artist but its not as bad as some other covers (Jane Turzy,Bunny Paul for examples)

Best version after the Clyde & co original has to be the much later Elvis of course--but that's not a cover

Worst version of the whole lot IMO HAS to be this one---from here in the UK (where of course Johnnie Ray took his cover to #1---but we never got the Clyde original here at the time)

Okay...the WORST "Such A Night" cover IMO
